To make sustainable and relaxed train journeys more attractive to a wider audience, Sunweb Group and European Sleeper are fully committed to the introduction of direct night trains to popular winter sports and sun destinations. The ambition is to start this winter with the first trains to the French Alps. The next step is an overnight train that will take holidaymakers directly to the beaches of the south of France during the summer season.


The new partners will further develop the travel offer in the coming period. The night train in particular has many advantages for Sunweb Group's customers. The journey is sustainable and safe, while it is an experience in itself. Because you sleep while travelling, the longer travel time is not a problem. You arrive well rested at your destination and the holiday can start right away. For the winter sports holiday this means, for example, that you can ski for almost eight full days. We offer many boarding stations in the Netherlands and Belgium and you can get off close to the resorts.

Sunweb Group has expressed the ambition to offer more sustainable travel options. At the beginning of this year, CEO of Sunweb Group, Mattijs ten Brink, indicated that he was going to offer more alternatives. Train holidays to southern Italy can now be booked through subsidiary Eliza was here. The next step is to offer complete trains to various destinations in France and Italy, so that the ecological footprint can be further reduced. With this, Sunweb Group wants to make holidays by train accessible to a much larger audience.

European Sleeper is a new Dutch-Belgian railway company that focuses on night trains. Sunweb Group's plans fit in perfectly with European Sleeper's ambitions to build a network of night trains from the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition to the already planned night train from Brussels and Amsterdam to Berlin and Prague, a new night train to France is now being prepared. In order to be able to grow further in the future, European Sleeper will also invest in new sleeping cars. At the end of June, private investors large and small can participate by buying new shares of European Sleeper, according to the travel company.
